by cbs welcome to "cbs this jirk welcome to "cbs this morning." norah and i are in vatican city today. we're on the eve of history. the first time any of us have ever watched a living pope succeeded. 115 gathering today before they begin their conclave. >> that's when they'll start the voting to pick the next leader of more than 1 billion company man catholics. allen pizzey, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the list of potential winners is long rather than limited, and they come from four different continents. the cardinals filed into the vatican to meet one last time as a group before they're locked into the cone of silence in what is the conclave.

the mood was summed up by this cardinal. >> surely you jest. >> reporter: the list among them is the longest vatican watchers can remember with no clear favorites facing off. they're the biggest voting bloc after the italians who have 28. on sunday many preached at their titular roman churches. >> the most important thing all of us can do right now is simply pray for god's blessing and the gift of the spirit on all of the cardinals as we go into the conclave. >> reporter: the sistine chapel is in the finishing stages of the preparation including the all important two stoves, one to burn the ballots after each round of voting and the second to make smoke. black to signal no one has acquired a 2/3 majority, white

to announce a new pope. the pope faces massive challenges. they're losing believers to evangelical protestants. they can't shake off the sex abuse scandal and there's the curia. three favorites are boston's cardinal sean o'malley, odilo scherer and scola. red curtains were put in place on the balcony where the new pope will be introduced. the expectations are that it will happen by friday at the latest in spite of the wide open field. allen pizzey, thanks. greg burke is senior communications adviser with the vatican secretariat of state. good morning. >> good morning. >> two questions seem to be here. one is the debate about the

factions between the cardinals, secondly, who's on what list and the short list. the first question. what is the divide? what's the fight about between reform and tradition? >> well, certainly there's a media debate going on. i think this has been ongoing in the sense that it's sort of like the military, you know. they're the guys near the flagpole and the guys out in the field. the guys in the field often think they know better how things are going. there's often tension there, there's no doubt about that. i think part of this here has perhaps been exaggerated and that makes it as if there are two big blocs, rome and the rest of the world. if that's how it really is, the rest of the world is going to win. >> because they've got the numbers. >> because they got the numbers. it comes to transparency, accountability, responsibility essentially, but i always come back to the terms, like all politics is local, all church is local.

this is of interest because we're electing a pope, but for 95% of the catholics out there, what they're interested in is how their parish and school works. >> there is a faction for reform and they're pushing for cardinal scola. and the vatican others are pushing for cardinal scherer of brazil. i mean how much division is there in the church? >> division or diversity of opinions? cardinal scherer is a good example because he's somebody who's out there in the field, he's in brazil, he's a pastor, but he has worked in rome. he can bridge the two. i'm no longer allowed to talk names which is too bad because i'm really good at it and handicapping people, but obviously people are looking for somebody with both pieces of experience. >> for the first time we see two americans' names being mentioned, cardinal o'malley and cardinal dolan. what's happened to bring them to the forefront?

>> what's happened is the world's changed. the common thinking was the u.s. is a super power. how come the u.s. is never the head of united nations. you're already a super power. the other part is they're two very interesting personalities who reflect the church in the united states. >> and might reflect the need of the vatican. >> i think it's interesting. it's a very vibrant church and anybody who sends their kids to catholic school knows that. i think people in europe are starting to see that. not only the difficulties and problems the american church can bring but also the positive side. >> we haven't had a noneuropean pope in 1,300 years but we're talking several americans. thank you. still ahead, with the eyes of the world on vatican city,

we'll take you next door to rome and show you its hidden treasures. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." and at least two u.s. troops were killed in eastern afghanistan. officials say an afghan official opened fire in the wardak province. it follows defense secretary chuck hagel's first official visit to afghanistan. before he left, chuck hagel denied claims by hamid karzai that the u.s. and taliban are working together. >> reporter: the defense secretary's visit has brought to the surface some of the serious tensions between the u.s. administration and afghan president and the attack in wardak will only make it worse.

few would have guessed it would be so hard. afghan president hamid karzai used the defense secretary's visit to launch an attack. he claims they're working with the taliban to destabilize afghanistan. he accused america of holding talks with the taliban on a daily basis. after a dinner, he said he told the afghan president that simply was not the case. >> i told the president it was not true that the united states was unilaterally working with the taliban in trying to negotiate anything. >> reporter: a senior administration official told cbs news this morning the united states has not had direct u.s. contact with the taliban since talks broke off in march 2012. karzai's made no secret of his frustration that his government has been unable to hold direct talks with the taliban, a goal

the u.s. publicly supports. and though the defense secretary is gone, coalition officials were still focusing on damage control this morning in trying to explain why u.s. special forces have not met karzai's decree that they pull out of strategic wardak province by today. a coalition spokesman issued a statement this morning that is anything but conclusive. >> we're developing a plan. we will soon be discussing the plan. >> reporter: at apparently attack is just a tragic indication of how volatile things remain there. and it will have serious repercussions on president karzai's demand to pull all special forces from that region. charlie and norah. former south african nelson mandela returned home yesterday. he spent a night in the hospital for what's being called a routine medical exam.

holly williams is there. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie. mandela returned home in an ambulance after spending nearly 24 hours in a hospital in pretoria. he is nearly 95 and rarely seen in public. he has a team of doctors who give him around-the-clock medical care in his own home, so any trip to the hospital sparks fears he could be seriously ill. in a statement the south african government said he's well and underwent routine tests. the last time he was hospitalized was in december with a lung infection. we know he's experienced a number of lung infections ever since he got tuberculosis while imprisoned. >> holly williams, thank you. it is a rare occurrence in washington. president obama and congressional republicans acting like they might be able to work together.

bill plante is at the white house, good morning. >> reporter: how about that. they're calling it the charm offensive, the president reaching out to members of both parties. he'll spend three days on capitol hill doing just that, something he never did much of before. he took it up suddenly right after raising alarms about the budget cuts had no effect. still the white house officials swear it's not because his poll numbers are down. >> that's why i've been reaching out. >> reporter: in his weekly address, president obama took a softer tone with republicans in congress after spending months blaming them for not compromising with him. >> there will be more contentious debate and honest disagreement between principled people who want what's best for this country, but i still believe that compromise is possible. >> reporter: it's a new strategy from the white house, mostly by passing the republican leadership and going directly to rank-and-file members. >> i don't know his motivations.

in he reaches out out and build as dialogue where there's greater trust and personal relationship, it matters. >> reporter: this week the president leaves the white house and travels across the capitol for meetings two days in a row. last week he invited a small handful of republicans for dinner and picked up the check. he had lunch with paul ryan, the chairman of the budget committee. >> this is the first time i've had a conversation with the president lasting more than two minutes. >> reporter: ryan said their discussion was frank but he's not sure what's next. >> will he resume the campaign mode, will he resume what is long believed to be a plan to win the 2014 elections. >> reporter: the president would like to reach a grand bargain to reduce the deficit by sometimes this summer. but any kind of deal would have to include a mix of changes that are tobsxic to both parties.

white house officials say the president will continue reaching out to congress because as one of them put it it's the only hope for any progress. >> bill, thanks. 48 people died and more than 700 were infected last fall after being injected with contaminated steroids. vials were shipped from new england compounding center. last night "60 minutes'" scott pelley reports. >> it was growing and so was the compounding industry. it started in 1998 when congress exempted compounding agencies from the oversight of the food and drug administration. the theory was mixing drugs one prescription at a time shouldn't require federal inspection. the law passed over the strong objections of the then fda commissioner. >> you as fda commissioner

testified before them and you said, don't do this. >> if you're not going to have oversight, one day people are going to die. >> that day's arrived. >> this should not happen in 2013. maybe at the turn of the previous century where we didn't have institutions like the fda. there is no reason why people had to die. >> without fda's supervision, compounding took off. state health departments are responsible for regulating what is now nearly a $2 billion industry. dr. margaret hamburg is fda commissioner now, and she told us because of the 1998 law, she doesn't know how many compounders there are or what they're making. >> you know, i can just hear the folks at home saying, wait a minute. i thought every pharmaceutical drug in this country was approved by the fda. and you seem to be telling me in this interview that's not the case. >> well, compounded drugs are

not fda approved. >> so if a patient goes into a clinic and the doctor or the nurse pulls out a vial of something, that patient has no way to know whether that drug has been approved by the fda or not. >> well, i think that's right, under the current system. and what i think emerged in the meningitis outbreak is that many patients and their health care providers didn't realize that they were, in fact, using a compounded product. >> as commissioner of the fda then, you can't tell us sitting here now that every drug being used in the united states is safe and effective. >> no, i really cannot. this past fall officials inspected necc, their leftover vials. each one was contaminated. necc is now the target of a criminal investigation. investigators say they believe speeding was the cause of a crash that killed six.

dramatic sight at a dramatic fire in new jersey. the fire broke out sunday in harrison. officials say it started in a restaurant kitchen. five firefighters were hurt and several families lost their homes. welcome back to "cbs this morning." thousands of americans will die this year from mel mona the deadliest form of skin cancer, but a new study suggests aspirin may significantly cut the risk in older women. good morning. >> good morning, charlie, norah. how are you?

>> from vatican city we're doing well. break down the findings. >> oh, it's wild. this is the largest study ever done for the prevention of mel mona. close to 60,000 women 50 and older. what it showed is if you took aspirin up to five years, a 30% reduction in melanoma. it went up the longer you took it. pretty dramatic an aspirin a day has dramatic powers. >> well how does it work? >> well, you know, this is a drug that 2,400 years ago high pock kraties told of taking the bark of the willow tree chewing it and you'll reduce pain and fever, so this drug has been around for a long time. an aspirin a day seems to reduce inflammation. it's at the root of disease like heart disease and cancer. so what you've seen over the last several years study after study showing the benefit of aspirin. an aspirin a day in several studies reduced overall the

death rate of cancer by close to 30%. this is the first study on mel mona. there have been data going both ways that were smaller but now clearly a definitive study shows an aspirin a day in women over 50 has dramatic effect. it doesn't mean it doesn't work in men and women under 50. this is whom the study was done on. >> are there any side effects? >> no question about it. right now aspirin is a remarkable drug but i want everyone to discuss it with their doctor because it can upset the stomach and cause some bleeding. that being said for $3.50 a year, a pill a day can have a dramatic effect in lowering both of these diseases. the big question is why aren't more people taking it? why aren't doctors talking about it always with patient because this preventive strategy depending on your history, is key to long-term health. in this observation that this drug that's over 2,000 drugs will lower the incidence of cancer is really profound.

the next question is how are we going to make it better? how are we going to get rid of the side effects so we can all take it without worrying about it. >> doctor you say in addition to making us healthier, this could save a lot of money, all right the we are looking at some great weather around bay area, plenty of

sunshine these next few days no threat of any rain staying well north of the bay area. a very strong dome of high pressure is overhead. temperatures in the 30s and 40s. patchy fog at the coast. this afternoon, looking at lots of sunshine, 60s and even some mid-70s the warmest valleys. looks like the next couple of days, we could be pushing 80 degrees by wednesday. then cooling off a bit on thursday and friday. with all the snow this winter, avalanches are a constant danger never the mountains. we'll get a behind-the-scenes look at what's being done to prevent the risk. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." >> announcer: cbs healthwatch sponsored by ail ka seltzer plus severe sinus and cough. but alka seltzer plus severe sinus does it treats your worst sinus symptoms, plus that annoying cough.

good morning. trying to get out of half moon bay is very tricky this

morning. we're seeing big delays on highway 92. we are trying to get on highway 92 and highway 1. a major injury crash shut down about a five-mile stretch of 92 both directions between downtown and highway 35. so if you are trying to get around this, a lot of folks trying to use highway 1, it's backed up. the fog is thick. so it's jammed towards pacifica. using highway 84 might be another better alternate. westbound 580 through the altamont pass is busy because of an earlier crash in livermore. that is traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> we have seen some patchy fog out toward the immediate coastline. otherwise, looking good so far. and a whole lot of sunshine coming our way. looking toward the golden gate bridge, a little sea haze there. otherwise, mostly clear skies over san francisco. 30s and 40s right now. as we head toward the afternoon, high pressure really building in nicely. temperatures soaring into the 60s and 70s in most spots around the bay and valleys. warmer midweek.

♪ good morning to you. it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." the roman catholic church could have a new pope in a few days. we'll preview the conclave that starts tomorrow and look at the americans who might be chosen. and coach bob knight says negative thinking is a powerful thing. we'll ask him why he says that and see what he thinks about college basketball these days. but first, here's a look at today's "eye opener at 8:00." >> this is the first papal election in more than a century with a list of potential winners is long rather than limited. >> 115 cardinals are holding their final meeting today before gathering tomorrow for their conclave. >> that's when they'll start the voting to pick the next leader of more than 1 billion roman catholics.

>> what's the fight about between reform and tradition? >> there's the rome and the rest of the world. if that's really how it is, the rest of the world's going to win. >> at least two u.s. troops were killed this morning in eastern afghanistan. it follows defense secretary chuck hagel's first official visit. >> if anything his visit here has brought to the surface some of the serious tensions between the u.s. administration and the afghan president. >> former president mandela returned to his home here in johannesburg in an ambulance after spending around 24 hours in a hospital in nearby pretoria. >> they're calling it the charm offensive, the president reaching out to members of congress in both parties. he never did it much before. >> actress valerie harper says her brain cancer diagnosis hit her like a sledgehammer. >> more than anything, i'm living in the moment. >> one of the worries is you've got 151,000 bets you don't need thousands morbids. >> why not? >> the papal conclave begins tomorrow. the competition should be wide open. >> the man in italy dressed as a bishop was able monday to sneak into the meeting of cardinals in

the vatican as they tried to choose a new pope. dude, just mind your own business for a while. >> today's "eye opener at 8:00" is presented by allergan. i'm charlie rose with norah o'donnell in vatican city. gayle king is in new york. 115 cardinals from around the world begin voting tomorrow to choose the next pope. this morning the cardinals are holding their last conferences before the conclave begins. >> yesterday most of them celebrated mass at churches around rome. if turnout if those masses is any clue, several cardinals could be top contenders including a couple of americans. with us this morning are monsignor anthony figeritot, a cbs news consultant and delia gallagher, senior editor of "inside the vatican" magazine and a cbs news vatican consultant. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> not a bad view huh?

we feel incredibly lucky, right, charlie, to be here. let's talk about some of the americans who have been mentioned. of course, cardinal sean o'malley of boston who is a franciscan, monsignor. yesterday he was in very ornate robes. is he a contender? >> thank you for coming to rome. good to be with you. >> the pleasure is ours. >> the pope has to be a man of god. so a man of god is content, whatever robe he's wearing. what was important for me yesterday was the message he gave. it was a story about the prodigal of the lost son and the cardinals had something of great interest to everyone. whatever your situation is you're welcome at the table of the lord. >> one of the interesting things to me is timothy dolan, the cardinal from new york, has a personality. is a charming man. is that a factor here in terms of him meeting with other cardinals? >> it may be too much of a factor. it may be a factor that some

italians might see as too much of a risk because he is very charismatic. one of the interesting things when we talk about electing a new pope is we think back to '78 to john paul ii. he wasn't john paul ii when he was elected. he was archbishop from krakow. and nobody really knew that he would turn into this very charismatic man. we have to always remember that maybe the figure that is so charismatic at the outset may not be the one who turns out to be the charismatic pope. >> monsignor, explain how this process is going to work. today is the day before the conclave. what's happening today? what happens tomorrow? >> well the cardinals now return to their residences different colleges around rome. tomorrow morning they'll be out of their residences and they'll be entering the new residence. from there they will go into st. peter's basilica. they'll celebrate their pre-conclave mass around the tomb of st. peter. and in the afternoon will have that wonderful procession into the sistine chapel.

the eyes of the whole world, i think, will be on the cardinals. >> and the first vote takes place tomorrow afternoon. you cannot vote for yourself. correct? >> at least you're not supposed to. >> ah. >> it's always suspicious when one cardinal gets one vote. >> it's a secret ballot though right? so you won't know? >> it is. and the important thing is that they make this vote before that famous last judgment scene in the sistine chapel. and they say god will be my judge as i make this vote. >> delia, let me ask about you. we've seen a lot of press reports about these emerging factions within the church the romans, the traditionalists, versus the reformers. what do you make of that? >> well i think in broad detail, that's correct. i mean there is a kind of status quo that wants to have their candidate which they're sharing is cardinal scherer from brazil and then the reformers that want to go with a reformer

who is scola. what's interesting about that is if those two can't get a majority, then that opens up the possibility of an american or an african and so on. so this will be the interesting thing to watch. >> what's interesting to me is the archbishop of milan is the champion of the reformers, an italian is the champion of the reformers. >> absolutely. he's run two very major diocese here in italy. venice and milan. in the 20th century, those two large cities gave five different popes. he's also a great theologian. he is very media savvy and has the ability to reach out to people. that's the kind of pope we need. >> a good manager? >> he's an excellent manager. and certainly as we move forward, charlie, we need someone who is able to deal with the difficulties we've had here. >> and delia, who do you think is going to emerge in these early -- i know i'm asking you sort of to read the tea leaves but you talk to a lot of people. what are you hearing?

>> my general feeling, of course, is they'll be conservative. it's a risk to go for an american. it's a risk to go for an african. it would be safer to go for an italian or a european or somebody like scherer who's from brazil but has had a lot of experience at the vatican. given the difficulties the last eight year with benedict pontificate, i wouldn't be surprised if we see somebody a little bit more on the safe side. >> you'll be with us all this week. thank you so much. and we now want to go back to gayle and anthony in studio 57. hi there. >> hi. good to see you both. president obama and congressional republicans are suddenly getting along, at least it sounds like they are. >> the president is reaching out to the gop, and both sides are cooling off their rhetoric. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anthony. that's right. the charm offensive, they call it. the president reaching out to members of congress particularly in the republican

rank and file. he's going to spend three days doing it this week up on capitol hill. on tuesday, he meets with senate democrats. on wednesday house republicans. and on thursday, he meets with the minority parties on both sides. senate republicans and house democrats. it's something this president never did very much of before. but he took it up suddenly after raising the alarm over the budget cuts failed to have any effect. the president would love to reach a grand bargain to reduce the deficit by summer. but any kind of deal would have to include a mix of changes that are toxic to both parties. tax increases, entitlement cuts. white house officials say that he will continue reaching out to congress because, as one of them put it it's the only hope for any progress. gayle? anthony? >> bill plante thank you. there's more rough weather this morning in the middle of the country. a line of thunderstorms is stretching more than 1,000 miles. and several inches of snow has fallen in iowa and nebraska. the snow is being blamed for

dozens of accidents on interstate 80 and 35. at least one person has been killed. there's new evidence that heart disease was a public health problem thousands of years ago. researchers now say america's number one killer could be a normal part of human aging. they studied 137 ancient mummyies and found one-third of them had harden hardening of the arteries which causes heart attacks and strokes. the researchers say some of the mummies that would have lived a healthy lifestyle still had heart disease. >> even a problem for the mummies. wow! britain's queen elizabeth is back at work but she also canceled a major appearance this morning. a week ago she spent a day in the hospital because of a stomach bug. the 86-year-old queen was supposed to appear at a ceremony today at westminster abbey, but a smokesman says she will miss that, too. the queen is expected to attend a reception tonight, and palace officials say she hopes to carry out her other

since last week nearly 2 1/2 feet has smallen in the west. it's a dream come true for

skiers and snowboarders but it's also leading to danger of more deadly avalanches. ben tracy takes a look inside a team working to prevent tragedy on the mountain. >> reporter: it's 5:00 in the morning at utah's snowbird ski resort. >> ready? fire. >> reporter: with military issue, howitzer cannons and c4 explosives this ski-board snopa control team looks like they're playing war games. but what they're doing is trying to figure out where and when the next avalanche may happen. many avalanches occur naturally, but others are triggered by people. these two skiers posted an online video of themselves causing an avalanche and then taking off down a hill to outrun it. they launch off a cliff and float down with parachutes as the snow rushes off behind them. >> and the trigger can be us. >> the trigger can be manmade,

somebody skiing snowboarding snowmobiling, snowsheing or a natural trigger. >> reporter: dean runs the snopa control. everyone is a certified master gunner. they use the heavy artillery to shock the snow pack delivering the impact of 100 people pounding on the slopes. >> with un, . >> one, two, three, fire. >> it helps us to see and we make the choice do we open this terrain or keep this terrain closed. >> reporter: those decisions can be life or death for the skiers who descend on the mountain. so before they arrive his team have already measured the snow depth. devised a safety plan and checked the slopes. >> reporter: how rare are the risks when it comes to avalanches for most people who come out on a day for the slopes. >> in the slope boundaries, the risk is monitored by the ma control. we help them not have to worry about the fact that the mountains are changing all the time. >> reporter: last winter

avalanches killed 34 people in the united states. so far this winter ten have died. bruce tremper has been studied avalanches for nearly four decades. new technology has allowed him to predict when the next avalanche could occur and how dangerous they are. >> the kind that kills people or what we call a slab avalanche so when a cohesive slab slides off, the slab breaks up above them like this and then there's no escape. >> reporter: most avalanches happen in unmarked and unpatrolled areas. >> when we go out and respond unfortunately most oftentimes it's not a positive outcome. so many people don't make it out of the backcountry hr he leads the search. it involves an eight-person rescue team and search dogs.

they also have one of the most advanced med i flight programs in the u.s. equipped with the nation's only long range beacon alert system. this helps rescuers find people faster and with more precision. there is a 93% chance of survival if someone is rescued in the first 15 minutes. >> you always want to think are avalanches likely and if they are likely what is the consequence of an ave language if it occurs. does it take me on a small ride into the trees, over the rock or a cliff band? does it bury me in that gully? >> that's why all the work that happens before anyone hits the slopes is well worth the time. for "cbs this morning," ben tracy, snowbird, utah. >> wow. i've got to hand it to the snowboard ski patrol team. >> i know. being in an avalanche looks ter fieing but firing that howitzer that looks fun. >> that's what boys thing.

welcome back to "cbs this morning" from vatican city. it's beautiful here. great to be here with my co-host charlie. coming up in this half hour more than 60 years ago, a book called "the power of positive thinking" became the most famous self-help books ever. now legendary basketball coach bob knight is offering his own book for success on negative thinking. okay, coach. he'll tell us about that in a moment. plus, the beauty and brilliance of orchids. if you're a fan of this flower -- i am -- we'll show you where to see it in all of its splendor. millions of tourists flock to this ancient city of rome for

everything from the cuisine to the coliseum. those who call it home live a unique way of life. mark phillips gives us the grand tour. he knows because he lived here. >> think of it more as a voyage through the roman psychy. this is a place like no other, and if you're going to get by here, it helps to have a little bit of roman attitude. it's at times like these when all roads again seem to lead here. rome may be the can tall of a country in an economic and political mess and the roman church may have a sur advise vacancy at the top, but life here is what it's always been about, looking good. bella figuera they call it. and rome's famous monuments reside over it all. once again, if only briefly, at the center of the world's

attention. rome isn't about the world's monuments. it's about the streets where people have lived the same for thousands of years. it's a place where they say nothing is permitted but everything's possible. it's not so much a place as a state of mind. and old rome hands like victor simpson who's been with the "associated press" wire service here for more than 40 years say to get along in the apparent chaos of rome you really do have to do as the romans do. >> it begins with driving your car. you have to know where and when you can cheat, which lanes you can use when you're not supposed to. >> reporter: lanes? what lanes? rome's traffic is just the most visible of the way things work here. the trick is never make eye contact. as soon as other drivers know you've seen them they'll assume you'll get out of their way. just go for it and somehow it

works. another tip, the city and the monuments are not just for looking at they're where you look on. they're where you meet your friends, flirt, and more. the guidebooks tell you the spanish steps werebility to provide access to the church above, but in rome they're not for climbing. they're grandstand from which to watch the show below. , where it's all about being seen showing off your dog, showing off your child. >> people spend their last dollar or euro to go out and have a good time. it's important. maybe they're right, you know? >> reporter: it's a city of vulgar austenations monuments to the imperial vanity of the ancient past. and it's a city of hidden treasures, sometimes hidden in plain sight. even on the main tourist squares rome has its little secret. this one taught to me by my

thirsty daughter. and at one of the best coffee bars in town no one's allows to see what the barman puts in the coffee to make it special. the cove here isn't just famous. it's a secret. rome may be one of the last places that hasn't been invaded by the american coffee chain, and there's a reason. they wouldn't dare -- ooh, that's good. the circus has come to town. cardinals and cameras. but it will pass. it always does. and life will get back to what it's always been about around here. the living of it the best way you can. rome is full of americans and other non-italians who all say the same thing. came here for a year or two and i found myself still here 20 or 30 years later. it's an easy place to get stuck. and once a roman, a little bit of you is always a roman. >> and you said earlier three of the best years of your life.

>> yes, they were they were. it was a great story. i was here when john paul ii was the pope. the trips were terrific the crowds were massive, and life here wasn't so bad either. >> you know what's not so bad in the city is the gelato. i went to the most famous jell lat gelato gelato. you know what the difference is between gelato and ice cream, charlie. >> 8,000 miles. >> there is that but it actually has less butter fat than ice cream so it's a little less fapting. >> did you like it? >> delicious. i had tiramisu and -- >> good choices, mark? >> excellent. two basic food groups. >> gayle, how about about that?

anthony and gayle? i'm sorry i didn't get to share gelato with you. >> i tell you what i'm jealous about, and i seldom get jealous, the fact that you get to hang out with mark phillips. i'm smitten with him all day. >> i told him. and then he started getting a little sassy. wait till you meet him in person. >> i can't wait, you guys. time to show you this morning's headlines. the "wall street journal" says the abuse of painkillers already a part of life in the south and u.s. is spreading west. prescription drug abuse became an epidemic in her state two years ago, but the problem is so new to the region states are still trying to put together ways to fight it. new jersey's asbury park press says global warming may mean more superstorms like sandy. in an article published in the journal ocean grandfather says arctic ice is pushing the jet

thinking? >> i think everybody, including me, even though i'm a great proponent of negative thinking i think we all at some times say, boy, i hope this works out or -- >> you don't like that word "hope," do you? >> no not really because hope springs eternal or whatever but really what springs from hope is work and thought and figure out how we can be better. i'm sure as good as you two are at what you do you spend time thinking how to be good and how to be better. you don't sit around hoping there's going to be some news break this morning that's going to help you -- >> well, some days we do. >> well, i understand. that's like every once in a while i hoped a shot was going go in. >> you say a little less hope and a little more sweat. you say when working with your players, unlike coaches you don't spend time pointing out the positive things.

you point out the negative things. >> let me put it this way, gayle. i think the thing i did was point with emphasis the mistakes we made. we made a bad pass we didn't block out or whatever. but i always tried to say, hey, that was a grad grat blockout or that's the kind of pass we have to have. i wanted kids to understand both what they shouldn't be doing and also what they should be doing. i don't think that you can just be totally one and not pay attention to the other. >> right. you said -- and i love this -- eternally optimistic positive thinkers are incredibly annoying. >> yeah, because they think everything's going go the right way. it's like you have a kid that comes from high school to college to play basketball let's say. if he doesn't understand that this is going to be a lot more difficult and a lot tougher, then he's not going to get the full use of his ability. so he's got to be shown, hey, you are at a different level

now. this is not going to be the same for you as playing in high school was. >> you know what i love that you said in the book coach knight you're so tired of people saying you can do anything you really want to. the truth is no you can't. no one says that. >> climb a tree and try to be a bird. fly out of the tree and see what happens. >> speaking of things going right, indiana's having a great season. did you watch the game yesterday? >> no, i don't watch it. most of what i do is i study games that i'm going to do on tv for espn and that kind of thing, but i think the whole big ten has come back to be stronger and i was really glad to see indiana play as they have and yet the league is better this year than it's been in a long time. >> you say in your book that patience has never been your strong suit, you're also known for your legendary temper. we've seen you throw a chair or two. >> just one. just one. it's been grossly exaggerated over the years. >> we've seen a couple of things

from coach bobby knight. do you regret some of that biv or do you think that plays into who you are? >> let me just throw something out for you. in all the years that i coached in the big ten, my team and myself each year had the fewest number of technical fouls. every year. >> you too? >> my behavior as a coach and our team's behavior translated into each year the fewest number of tick nick cal fouls and i look at that and say, well thank's been a little bit overrated. >> do you miss coaching? >> pardon? >> do you miss coaching? >> no not really. i enjoyed it while i did it. i enjoyed the players that i had, the things that we did. i thought i might. but, you know, when i got out of it, i looked back and thought, you know, i enjoyed it. i liked it and i really don't miss the coaching part. >> all right. coach bob knight. thank you very much. >> his lovely wife karen is with
